We consider three different deployment scenarios, namely the large-scale deployment, the regional deployment, and the national deployment.
The large-scale deployment models a globally distributed blockchain as used in other works [1]}, [2]}, [3]} with \(200ms\)  roundtrip latency and \(25Mb/s\)  bandwidth. The two other scenarios model reported industry use-cases [4]}, in more limited geographical deployments for example for local supply-chain management, exchange of medical data, or digital currency (E-Euro, or E-Dollar).
The regional deployment, captures a deployment in a large country or unions of countries, such as US or the EU, with \(100ms\)  roundtrip latency and \(100Mb/s\)  bandwidth.
Finally, the national deployment models a setting where nodes are closer to each other, connected by a network with \(20ms\)  roundtrip time and \(100Mb/s\)  bandwidth.
